Happy heavenly birthday, Lorraine! You are missed,

I'm not against flogging, but, provided it doesn't go against the Eighth Amendment, forcing him to attend White Sox home games with his mouth taped shut, sitting next to Hawk Harrelson for 9+ innings, would be my preference. And for night games, making him walk home could be part of the punishment.

Horrible that he didn't live to see his induction, but glad to know he survived to see his long, long overdue election. RIP.

Presented without comment...

The top songs from these albums are all on one of them, and it's not Power Windows.

I never thought I'd live long enough to see the Replacements lumped in with Springsteen and Mellencamp. Dylan (or Robert Zimmerman) was from Hibbing, Minnesota, in the Iron Range, which is an area dominated, even today, by the unions so he's got the bona fides for heartland working class rock, at least in terms of background. Never really considered his lyrics to be that in line with the union ethos, though.

In a profession where very few are universally respected, both personally and professionally, Greg was. The only other ones I can think of are Vin Scully and Ernie Johnson. Of course, this does not apply to the first six minutes of the selection show, when it took that long to announce the seeds.

Dick Allen and Dave Parker named to the Hall by the Veterans Committee. Both deserved the honor long ago.

Sad news: Randy Moss has liver cancer. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/randy-moss-diagnosed-with-cancer/ar-AA1vDm4y?ocid=msedgntp&pc=ASTS&cvid=0ca64849381c47a8a577d0be936e0dd1&ei=27

The fact that Hawk Harrelson got it before Hamilton is a travesty (as much as something like this can be a travesty.)

At least it got Eberflus fired so O'Connell doesn't have to match wits with him in two weeks, so you can take solace in that.

Luck is sometimes no further away than the opposing head coach. Once the Cardinals had a manageable shot at a TD (4th and 5 from the 5 to go up 10), you go for it. Never kick to go up six under 5 minutes to go unless the odds to make a first down are negligible.

It's a joke, obviously the Bears are waiting for Mike McCarthy to become available. Imagine their surprise when the Cowboys retain him and they have to settle for Dennis Allen.
